Are you looking for an adorable book to read to your toddler or child? Well, If Puppies Had Pockets is a good one to get. It is cute. It shows your child or children about some teachable moments like sharing. It can show who a puppy or dog would be willing to share and show its love to you or your children.

This book has some rhyming. What would you do if puppies had pockets? What would they have in their pockets? You could ask your child or children what they think their puppy or puppies would have in their pockets if they had them. It seems to me to be set on imagination and sharing and talking about love.

The book stood created to be held by toddlers and children. It is thick enough for them to turn the pages. It is a short and easy read; Your child can learn to read with this. The pictures are cute; I love the images in this book. Children and adults will enjoy this book. If you are a dog or animal person, this book is for you and your family. Parents should put it on their child's bookshelves, or their grandparents could get it for their grandchildren.

I have found a book about neglect. It's about a dog that gets mistreated. This book talks about a topic that is hard to bring up. This book explains well to children. Yes, this is about a dog, but it could be for children.

This book was a bit heartbroken at first. Though it does help with making children and adults understand about being mistreated. Please, if you see neglect, please help, whether it's children or dogs. This book is about a rescue dog.

He tells his story of being mistreated and how he recovered. Here is an excellent book to have on your bookshelves, and it is unique. What will happen to Punk? Will he ever learn to trust again? If you have a rescue dog, please let them know you love them but let them know. Let them come to you when they are ready.

Children will learn about some life lessons and rescue dogs. They will learn about how to take care and be in love and be patient. We all need to know this same lesson sometime. We remember we do learn how to take care of and love a rescue dog. This book is suitable for children to know that children and dogs can be loved, healed, and overcome neglect and mistreatment. There are some resources in the back of this book for help. Great for classrooms and bookshelves.

A healthy dog is a visibly happy dog. Try an IAMS™ diet and look for the visible difference that IAMS™quality food can make.

They mean what they say. If you want a healthy dog, IAMS is a good brand for them. The brand deals with all age groups from puppy up to senior dogs. That's what I trust Iams Dog Food for my dog growing up from puppy to senior.

I liked that the fact that the packages are different colors for the different ages. That they make the product that is needed for that age in a dog. Making it important for the group like the adult dog may need something a senior does not need much of but is designed for that dog or puppy age bracket.

Yes, I would recommend this product to family and friends if that's what they are looking for with their dog or puppy.

I am not sure. I am only using the sample that got. It really depends on how well my dog enjoys it and would eat it. If it were worth it to buy it. I received this product for free with a coupon.

Looking for a good leach for your large or medium dog. This is great for that and training your dog. It got two sturdy handles for you. One for keeping your dog safe and near you. One to let your dog have enough to walk and still be near by. #PPG

Can be used as a Training aid to control Dominance and Aggression. Keep your beloved dog safe no matter where you go. Plus, you've got soft padding on both handles so your palms will be comfortable even if your walk is longer than usually. You can walk at slow speed or even start running if the area is not crowded, so you can both get some exercise!Ideal for large, medium and even some small dog breeds, our Double Handle Dog Leash is a must-have for any conscious dog owner who cares about their four-legged companion!

• Extra padding on handles adds comfort.
• Dog's range of motion is limited when you're holding the short handle.

Here is us showing how the Dog Leash - Double Handle - Extra Long is used:

I when I got it. It a bit big for my icicle but i did use it on her. It is sturdy and will work. It best for Medium and Large Dogs. I see all of it advantages. I wish it would have been great for Icicle. She my dog, though she little it a bit heavy for her.

That be my only down fall. I gave it to a friend who can use it. It look good for her and her big dog. You can see it being tested in the video. There nothing wrong with the company or anything. They are decent to talk to and stay in contact with. I have not had may problems with them.

Author Interview: Interview with Diane Daniels Manning
Description: Two unlikely friends, an old woman and a boy with special needs, take an aging champion to Westminster Dog Show, and heal their troubled families.
Seventy year-old Bess Rutledge has fantasized about winning the Westminster Dog Show all her life, but now she has decided she is too old to follow her dream. She meets Benny, an angry fourteen year-old with mild autism and ADHD, who has a dream of his own: to impress his self-absorbed mother. He becomes convinced that winning Westminster with McCreery, Bess’ aging champion standard poodle, will finally make his mother proud of him. Getting Bess to go along with his plan, however, is not going to be so easy.

Almost Perfect Trailer V1-2 from Kaizen Marketing on Vimeo.

Almost Perfect got to me. I just loved the story behind it. It's about a boy named Benny and an older woman named Bess. Benny is having trouble with emotions, especially when dealing with his mother. Benny wants a dog, but his mother is too busy with her life. We meet several different folks.
Benny meets Bess for the first time when he discovers her dogs. Benny meets Susie and McCreery, Bess's poodle. Benny wants McCreery for himself. Bess sees this fascination with McCreery. Benny runs off. Bess wants to win the Westminster Dog show and no one

There are some amazing twists and turns in this book. At one point, Benny finds out that McCreery is gone. And is determined to find McCreery. There are other characters I liked in this book. David and Dr. Kate meet through Benny. Benny meets a new girl as well.

Benny now has the possibility of choosing a puppy and calls him Breaker. Bess and Benny are now Co-Owners. Can Benny handle a puppy and deal with all the hard work it takes for a show dog? To find out you will need to read "Almost Perfect." There are surprises to this story.
